Ahem. This is a bit of a crude one, but "Me cae los huevos" (My... erm... eggs drop. The meaning of this should be obvious.) [when I see him/her] means you dislike them.

It's a simile rather than a metaphor, but you were after weather ones, so: I just described someone as having a face like a wet weekend.

My older brother and I are fond of the term "Flip a cog", meaning to throw a fit or become very angry. I have no idea how common the expression is, but there's my input...

If you have any more ideas, they're more than welcome - I just want to thank you guys for what you've sent so far. :)

Anger: fuming, blind rage, towering rage

Fear: petrified, frozen

Worry: a gnawing or nagging worry

Happiness: feeling chirpy

Will add more if I think of them :)

"Her voice was heavy with sarcasm..."
How is it that when one is asked to think of things one thinks of all the time, one cannot think of them? Argh! *headbonk*

compassion, friendliness, and similar: warm

Lack of emotion: cold

anger: seeing red. Note also that heat associations with anger tend to refer specifically to fire in most cases.

Unfortunately, my knowledge of Latin does not extend to metaphors, so I can't help with non-english metaphors.

but here's a couple.

Green with envy, tickled pink, red with fury/whatever.

Look, Sedri, there's a ton of these buggers, and I have to go out in an hour. If I miss the start of the Potter travesty because I'm too caught up in thinking of metaphors for you, I may never forgive you. :P

Have asked my dad if he can think of any German examples that fit, since one of my principal memories of asking him for help with German homework was his insistence that idiomatic expressions don't tend to translate the same. Will let you know what he says.

Also, will reply on your lj as will have time to think that way.

This is for my semantics course at university, and I'll be writing it as a formal report, so if you know a metaphor in a non-English language, please, give me both the original words and the English translation.

Also, phrases relating to temperature or colour are excellent, but literally anything is welcome - the more variety, the better. Also, they don't need to be strict-definition metaphors, as "feeling down" is perfectly useful for this project.

Thanks to anyone who can help!
